waiting for Udev uevents to be proccessed forever

After a clean install from cd arch booted properly.
After updating everything and rebooting, boot hanged at waiting for Udev uevents to be proccessed for too long.
I reinstalled arch but this time I updated only udev and i have the same problem.
I dont know where to look for the error logs in order to find the problematic hardware (if there is one) or the incorrect configuration.

You must select a recent mirror and do pacman -Syyu and not update individual packages!

I did packman -Syyu the first time and I had that problem.
When I updated udev alone I did that to make sure it is a udev update problem and not another update.

Solved by blacklisting sr_mod.
I found out it was problematic by trial and error.
I don't even know what this module does, if anyone knows I would apreciate a reply.

It's for CD and DVD drives. They won't work without it.
